\ Singular Case Of, tho Black Art at Dan
Vile, Kentucky.
DASvlLLE, KY, Sept. pa case OF
'voodooism" has developed itself hcre
during tho psst week. The person "voo-
dooed" is an aged colored woman named
Amey Merritt, living with prominent
family in this city. The old necress ia
fesble.minded and the voodoo doctreos
has had her laboring under the halluciu.
alton that aho had frog in her leg and
that by treatment she could "drive It out
Of her big toe. I, Is b q,
Y Investigation few days oince developed
the TACT that the doctress had persuaded
her patient that she must not sleep upon
the nice feather bed which she had, ,"as
the feathers were dead,n but must give it
to her (the doctreas) to burn up; also that
q good strong pair OF shoes which the pa.
tient had must be disposed Of in the same
way, "as the frog would not leave hor il
abe put them Oh again. tSlg<al. 35 t5f
The voodoo doctress had such complete
control over her patient that she had per
suaded her that various articles Of apparel
which the old negreas had must be parted
with in order that the frog might be
eliminated from her system. Tho com.
plete control wich the voodooist has over
tho patient is exceedingly remarkable.
This is the first case OF this species OF su-
perstitition which has developed here,
though 1t is very common further South.
